I've been told that before, by a well-trained Bible scholar. You are right, of course. Was it OK for Israelites to eat bugs for protein? For John Baptist?

Jewish dietary ordinances under the Mosaic/Davidic Covenant:

"Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; 
Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind" (Lev. 11:21-22 AV).

I remember Michael Savage saying that locusts are Kosher.
